When I tried to update the OS with JB 4.1.1, after some installation, the phone showed an alert saying ERROR NO. 7, and asked to reboot. I pressed the OK button. The phone was OFF and I am not able to switch on the phone even with different options like, Vol Down + PowerKey, Vol Up + Powerkey or any other way, the screen and the Phone are NOT ON.
